The event was simply bringing together Ridley riding customers and new friends for a ride, celebration of all things Belgium (food and beer) and looking at the new 2013 product.

While I am very biased since Ridleyis a brand I represent this event was a very unique way for a shop to hold a non-salesy in store (and bike ride) while influencing customers. The event was well attended, the ride was casual but sporty and there was even a couple hundred feet of gravel road riding thrown in there for our “Pave tested” Ridleys.

Does your shop host any events like this? What was your experience when attending or organizing?

What does this mean for you?

Two major things will be happening.

The first is thanks to being back within the bike industry and utilizing this site as a tool in my arsenal you’ll be seeing more and more coverage, tips and well – simply put you’ll see more updates. Still focusing on empowering women in cycling and all things cycling.

The second is temporarily I’ll be limiting my bike reviews or run downs by the brands I cover. The longer term strategy by the spring is to bring on a couple more women that can be more unbiased on their reviews to cover the brands and product that I won’t be selling.

You’ll also see more growth in the Southeast with coverage and events. I always have done this since I live in North Carolina, but this will only expand.

I want to personally thank everyone that comes here and reads my rants

Each of you helped me get to where I am and this is an amazing, once in a life time, opportunity to work for such a company and not have to move to Minnesota!
